COUPEVILLE MIDDLE SCHOOL
COUPEVILLE HIGH SCHOOL- The recommended supplies will be on each class syllabus that your student will receive during the first week of school.
NEW SKYWARD:
CSD now uses Qmlativ as our student management system. This platform updates and hopefully improves on Skyward. Qmlativ is now where students and parents can check grades, contact teachers, and pay fees. There will be brief training provided to help parents and students navigate the new system shortly.
LUNCH:
The USDA has discontinued free lunch for all students. Lunch for students returns to $3.45. We will also return to our two-lunch bell schedule. That means we will have 6th-8th lunch after 3rd period, and 9th-12th lunch after 4th period.
Back to School Oak Harbor
If your children are attending the Oak Harbor School District this year this is the right place for you!
One of the biggest changes this year is most of the SCHOOL SUPPLIES will be provided for you!
The Oak Harbor School district received funds through local levies that contributed to the school being able to provide most, if not all school supplies for students this year. Each school has provided comments for what your child will still need. We have put them all in one place for you to include links to each individual school if you need further information.
Crescent Harbor Elementary School – parents will only need to provide backpacks and headphones!
Hillcrest Elementary – a backpack and headphones (no earbuds, please)!
Broadview Elementary – a backpack and headphones (no earbuds, please)!
Oak Harbor Intermediate School – Suggestions for supplies that are not provided are a regular backpack, 2″ 3-ring binder (for organization), headphones, and a water bottle.
North Whidbey Middle School – Don’t forget a backpack and clothes for PE!
Oak Harbor High School – Recommended Supplies for each class will be provided the first day of school

Whidbey Island has always been widely known for its farming history.
In 1850 Isaac Ebey became the first official white settler on Whidbey Island making claim to the soft rolling hills of what we know as Ebey's Landing today. The rich soil was ideal for cultivating crops which became a significant draw to the island for others. Learn more here.
Over the years several small wharfs were built along the shore of Penn Cove to import and export goods to and from the island.
In conjunction with the development of Fort Casey, our beloved Coupeville Wharf was built extending 500 feet into the cove to accommodate the increase in commerce even when the tide was low. It acted as the main distribution and storage center for grain. Learn more here.
Over the years Whidbey has stayed true to its roots and farmers have expanded into their own unique niches throughout the island.
The summer season brings a unique opportunity for you to visit local farms for a day in the fields picking the best berries and guaranteeing you the freshest pick of the crop for a day that you will remember for years to come.

If you are interested in receiving one and have not received yours already email us here at whidbeycommunications@windermere.com. Provide us your name, and mailing address and specify you would like a discount card to Dugualla Bay Berries.
High Bank Waterfront
Whidbey Island has an interesting geological history. During the last glacial age (around 15,000 years ago) Whidbey was so weighed down with ice that it was submerged far underwater. High bluff areas like the ones on West Beach, pictured on the front, are well above the waterline now but the wind, waves and slowly eroding bluffs keep geology enthusiasts coming back for interesting finds. These have included mammoth bones (no kidding!), huge erratic boulders dumped by glaciers, bands of black peat, and even shell middens left by the Coast Salish. Insane right? Tell us what you have found walking along the high-bank waterfronts of Whidbey.

A Rare Find
It is a rare broker whose love language is creating and sharing information that is valuable to clients but can also be hard to find. Some brokers feel they need to guard their valuable local insights as if it is a finite and precious gift. What they don’t see is that every time you put valuable knowledge out there for people to use and find, A) it just represents the tip of the iceberg on what you actually know, and B) it tells people you are the person to go to for more goods on the topic. So, if your topic happens to be something like moving to Tacoma we have the site for you!
